Max Verstappen makes admission on Red Bull’s F1 struggles…

“Let’s say we took the wrong direction with the car,” Verstappen told Sky Italia.

“Now we are trying to correct it but it takes time, you can’t just flip a switch and fix everything.”

Red Bull has shown signs it is back on the right track, however, as Sergio Perez had podium-contending speed in Baku, with Verstappen taking second in Singapore.

With the team utilising the autumn break to prepare new updates, Verstappen is optimistic Red Bull can be in contention to attain victories in the remaining six events.

“We are working on it, then we also had bad luck in some episodes in the last races, some unfortunate decisions that compromised the final result,” he continued.

“But I know we can do better.

“Obviously I don’t expect it to go like last year, where we dominated the whole season, but I feel confident that we can get back to fighting for the win very soon.”
